Operation Christmas Child

On the first week of explorers the charity commitee gave themselves an almost impossible task. To make up 50 shoeboxes for the Samaritans purse operation christmas child. Headed by Josh Kemp they delivered letters to every beaver,cub and scout group in the district and got all the young leaders to encourage the support of this fantastic programme.They held a night where the commitee packed and wrapped all the boxes and for five weeks had a special jar in the quarry for people to donate loose change. In the end they managed to create an over target amount of 51 boxes showing the fantastic effort from all involved. A special thanks to the 8th for donating £70 to support next years effort where we are looking to compile 52 boxes.    


It was awkward when Adam turned up late with his box...
